Resounding notions of Object Oriented Ontology[1] in Cinema[2][3] here, which is very much about pick out & possibly stitching together key items from film.

> "All of the elements of a shot’s mise en scène, all of the non-relational objects within the film frame, are figures of a sort. The figure is the likeness of a material object, whether that likeness is by-design or purely accidental. A shot is a cluster of cinematic figures, an entanglement. Actors and props are by no means the only kinds of cinematic figures—the space that they occupy and navigate is itself a figure"

And the words they say, as seen here.

Very nice project! Would be cool if it didn't need a .srt file, but that it would scan the audio for a search prase. Edit: Never mind, I see that you can create transcriptions using vosk!

You can search inside video using phrases on muse.ai -- see examples for TED talks https://muse.ai/demo-embed-search-ted or yc startup school https://muse.ai/demo-embed-search-uni

WTF is a supercut. ...OK apparently it means cutting a number of parts from the source video containing a given spoken text and joining them together again. Still not sure why you would call that a supercut.
